RGD stores data about various “objects”. Users can find all the associated data available for an object by clicking on a category name or an icon to begin an object-specific search or browse the available data.
 GENES |
 STRAINS |
| Gene reports include a comprehensive description of function and biological process as well as disease, expression, regulation and phenotype information. | Strain reports include a comprehensive description of strain origin, disease, phenotype, genetics, immunology, behavior with links to related genes, QTLs, sub-strains, and strain sources. |
 GENOME INFORMATION PAGES |
 ONTOLOGIES |
| RGD’s Genome Information pages give consolidated information about the recent genome assemblies for all of the species available at RGD. | Ontologies provide standardized vocabularies for annotating molecular function, biological process,cellular component, phenotype and disease associations. Allows searching across genes, QTLs, strains and provides a basis for cross-species comparisons.. |
 QTLS |
 CELL LINES |
| QTL reports provide phenotype and disease descriptions, mapping, and strain information as well as links to markers and candidate genes. | RGD’s Cell Line Directory links to information about, and sources for, rat cell lines, in particular rat embryonic stem cell (ES) lines. |
 MARKERS |
 REFERENCES |
| SSLP and SNP reports provide mapping data, primer information, and size variations among strains. | Reference reports provide full citations, abstracts, and links to Pubmed. Where available, a link directly to the full text of the article is also provided. |
